Thread: Opinions - Best 3.9 V8 Cams

Imported: Crower 50229 or Real Steel Viper Cyclone or RPI Torquemax. The Cyclone was developed specially for 14 CUX hot wire 3.9 engines with auto trans.

Local: Dynotec PC216 or Wade 259A.

Not really sure about 3.9 but I have run a number of 3.5 s with the Dynotec Cm215D they have been very good.

Hi Andrew,
The RPI Piper cam kits are good. i fitted a 270 kit a few years ago in the UK- you get new lifters, lube, vernier duplex chainset and gaskets, which when you add up all the bits seperately is a good deal price wise.
They do a Torque Master cam grind and a new one called RP4 Optimax at the same price both which suit the hotwire 3.9
cheers

would be interested to hear the result Andrew,,,

Will do. Have been looking at all the different options.
Will start putting it down on paper as I want to get this done in the next few weeks.

I dont want to have to go to the extent of dragging it in from O/S so am looking for cams available in Oz.

Have thought about the Piper cam as I may chip it later with a Tornado, but have projects like oxy sensors to go on as well which I want to do first, give me a gradual feel of the performance lift step by step.

Cheers

Andrew

(Tongue in cheek) Winfield No.4 and No.5 grinds worked in Offys. No.5 gave more top end, 6500rpm upwards. No.4 gave a better slingshot out of the corners.

So who sells the RP4 cam here in Oz????

Yea,, the RP4 sounds like the right option,,,

not sure even IF they are sold here-
might have to import one,,,,
